"When Irish eyes are smiling,

'Tis like a morn in spring.

With a lilt of Irish laughter

You can hear the angels sing."

Travel Dreams: Ireland

One of my main items on my "bucket list" is to travel. Specifically to Ireland.

I've wanted to go for as long as I can remember.

In highschool, my best friend and I had big dreams of

"backpacking" through Europe before going off to college.

[if you have ever met me or molly, you know that by "backpacking"

we really envisioned leisurely making our way where ever our hearts desire

with adorable luggage and staying in cute hotels. At no point did we intend

to hard core "backpack" it through various countries.]

Well summer after senior year came and went and neither of us made it over seas.

In fact, we didn't even make it across the country to spend any time with each other.

[Molly and I have a  bi-coastal relationship, having met as pen pals

in the fourth grade we've never lived remotely close to each other.]

Two years out from college graduation and I still have yet to make it to Europe.

Luckily, Mollys brother Rory is studying in Cork, Ireland right now.

Once he decided to spend his time abroad in Ireland my jealousy set in.

However since he left a few short weeks ago I'm so excited to

keep up with his explorations on his new blog,

Life in Cork!

Check it out for awesome stories, photos and fun facts about life outside the states!

Green with Envy

One of my biggest regrets in life is not studying abroad in collge.

A good friend has just begun a semester in Cork, Ireland...todays source of envy. 

Since giving up my "real world" job to hide away in Ireland isnt exactly an option,

I'm enjoying following his adventures on his

new blog Life in Cork!

Rory has an amazing eye for photography (see his other blog here).

I can't wait to see his photos from this adventure!
